It may seem odd to some, but in truth, otoko geisha (male geisha), or Taikomochi, also known as Houkan, were the first. The art of the Houkan is simply a dying one, kept precious by few very talented men.

I'd like to announce the soon-to-be open Shizuka na Okiya. Over the course of the next few days it will be completed.

There is a tea house as well, where we entertain with music, stories, poetry, and dance. If you'd like any information on fees, scheduling, and if you'd like to join our group, IM Otousan Zepheri Xaris in-world.
I'd be more than glad to talk about it, and donations are greatly appreciated as we buy all of our instruments and clothing ourselves.
See you in-world!
